heheh I was just thinking about how to monitor the ips and if your getting straight ethernet it will be ALOT easier to monitor then what I had thought because most of the time before cablemodems and DSL Serial interfaces where sub interfaces on routers so in you would actually have a IP for the (your side of the router) and IP for the ISP's Side of the router then the IP for the Device itself as well as the gateway. 4 IPS. heheh your going to have two+NAT IP for Lan side.
Also in one of the previous post I made mention about BGP and using it. I stated that all wrong I was in a hurry to write it and it didnt come out right.
BGP basically lets you use different ISP's for load balancing however to properly get the same Hops or route time. Think of it like a drag race. For you to load balance you have to have both dragsters running at the same speed/HP/.... Sometimes two different ISP might be at more them one hop away from each other hence the Poisoning routes comment where if you know one is closer you should add (can't think of the term) to the route to make them more equal. This stuff gets yucky... so I will stop talking about it.
Anyway...... I'll try and post a useful Foki for it
